“V good. Definitely worth the drive to parts East“

“My family and I LOVE Maki. Their food is always fresh, and delicious. I haven't found my favorite dish YET. Too many to choose from. I love their Beef Pho, and Yakisoba. My husband enjoys ALL of their specialty sushi. Their waitresses are always kind, and attentive. My husband is always thirsty, and never has an empty cup. The main man...sushi preparer is amazing! Always delivers a beautiful dish! Out of all the restaurants we frequent in Lake County....Maki is always consistent with their food quality and service.“

“My wife and I felt like trying something new, so we opted for Sumoboy. The clear soup was flavorful. The chicken katsu i ordered was crispy and saucy. My wife enjoyed her bento box but thought there was a bit too much teryaki sauce, and some of the chicken chunks were a little tough. We were the only ones in the restaurant the entire time, so hopefully it was just an off time for them.“

“First time at Issho Ni Poke Bar, and even though I didn’t try the poke, I was seriously impressed! I had the Rainbow sushi burrito and the Karai Maguro Onigiri—both were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully put together. The burrito was loaded with colorful, quality ingredients, and the spicy tuna onigiri with cucumber, eel sauce, and crispy onion was an awesome combo of heat, crunch, and richness.

My family goes to their Willoughby location all the time for sushi and ramen, so I already knew they were legit—but this spot has its own unique vibe and definitely lives up to the name. Friendly staff, quick service, and super clean inside too. I’ll definitely be back to try more!“

“Finished eating with my family and as soon as I got in the car and realized I didn't have my phone and went back to go get it. They were already there waiting to give me my phone. They 10/10 fr onb.

Also the Kento box was amazing“

“The best Sushi I have ever had!!! My kids and I absolutly love it there! The owner is so sweet and remembers what sushi my son gets! The best service and food!! Highly recommend! We go at least 2/3 times a month! Ran into the owners at Sam’s club and was soo pleased to see all they had was fresh fruit and veggie!!! no frozen! There veggies are so crisp being fresh!!“

“Very clean, staff was super friendly and accommodating. Cute decor and the little birthday celebration was so cute! We'll be back!“

“Most of the sushi was excellent but there was a few pieces that had that fishy taste that you don't want. The rolls didn't hold together well when I picked them up, and the hot tea was atrocious. The miso soup and the tuna was very good. And I was supposed how clean and oceany the sea urchin tasted. The waitress was very nice and helped me pick out the fish.“

“This was my 1st time trying this restaurant and I am quite impressed with their food, it was absolutely delicious, taste so much better than Benihana and affordable. They gave great portions and I’m returning again today after only a couple of days. I will let others know about this restaurant.“

“An unassuming exterior hides a sleek and modern interior. Smiles from employees. Food was fantastic and we couldn't have been happier.“

“Clean, fresh and absolutely delicious!!! Highly recommend.“

“Fantastic sushi and great service. I drove 20 minutes to get here because the Mayfield area did not have a good looking sushi place. Young's was an excellent experience and I would gladly travel 30 minutes to get good sushi again given the same options. I got the sashimi platter and it was all fantastic.“

“Stop there for lunch and it was excellent! All you. An eat for $18.99 and top notch clean and everything made perfect. Service was super. Can’t wait to go there again, if your in the mood for a good hungry shushi, day, this is the place 5 stars“
